Sugarcane Juice Machine Price in Kenya

The listing describes a stainless steel body, a compact frame with wheels (so you can sell from a cart, kiosk or truck), simple button control, and rollers that separate juice and residue in one pass.

How Does a Sugarcane Juice Machine Work?

Peeled, cleaned cane is fed between motor-driven rollers. The rollers crush it, the juice runs into a tray, and the dry residue (bagasse) comes out the other side. The residue can be sold to farmers as animal feed.

Step-by-Step Plan

1. Location: a busy spot with steady foot traffic, shade and clean water nearby.
2. Permits: a county business permit and food handler medical certificates; ask your county about public health requirements.
3. Supply: agree a regular supply of fresh, clean cane.
4. Equipment: the juicer, a clean work table, food-grade containers, cups, ice box and a waste bin.
5. Pricing: set cup sizes and prices, and display them.
6. Hygiene: wash cane, wear an apron and keep hair covered; serve in clean cups.

How Long Does Sugarcane Juice Keep?

Fresh juice changes colour and starts to ferment within hours at room temperature. Press it to order, or chill it straight away and sell it the same day. Bottling it for shops needs pasteurisation, proper packaging and KEBS approval; see How to Start a Bottling Business.

How to Clean a Sugarcane Juice Machine

1. Switch off and unplug.
2. Run clean water through the rollers to flush out juice.
3. Scrub the rollers and tray with a brush and clean water; remove all fibres.
4. Rinse and leave to dry; clean before you start the next day too.

Is a Sugarcane Juice Business Profitable?

Daily profit = cups sold × price per cup − cane, cups, ice, power, transport and rent. Low ingredient cost is the strength of this business; location and cleanliness drive sales. Track your cups per day for the first two weeks before you expand.
